However, I could be wrong, so I'd like to know the facts.
In any event, I understand your disappointment. I hope you'll consider giving us another chance in the future.
That has happened to me a few times in the past when a tartan they normally stock in 54" was out of stock and would not be available for when I needed it. They wove a short length for my order, 29" wide, and only charged me the 54" price.
This does NOT mean that I paid for 54" and only got 29", which sounds like a rip-off. It means that I was charged for 2 yards of 54" stock tartan, whereas they delivered 4 yards of 29" custom tartan. I'm sure they took a loss when they did this, but I was grateful of the service.
Furthermore, they always offered - I never had to ask.
What your case sounds like to me is a failure somewhere in communication.
